It's just what the primetime cable news lineup needed - another hour-long program tilted toward left-of-center politics with character assassination on conservatives.

CNN Headline News debuted its "The Joy Behar Show" on Sept. 29, which included appearances by lefty comedian Jeanane Garofalo, CNN's Jack Cafferty and actress Bette Midler. Garofalo doubled down on her low regard for conservative 9/12 and tea party protesters, labeling them as racists. Cafferty went after President Barack Obama for his disregard of the carbon footprint his lobbying efforts in Copenhagen for Chicago to host the 2016 Summer Olympics.

However, actress-turned-Vegas entertainer Bette Midler went straight after former CNN Headline News host Glenn Beck. She was prodded by host Joy Behar, who mentioned Beck as someone who is encouraging a breakdown in so-called "political discourse."

Bette Midler? Bette Midler? What rock did they pull her out from under?

I’d remind the ever so dim Ms. Midler that conservatives and libertarians aren’t the ones always talking about revolutions. If things continue on this path, we might, but talk of revolution is a province of the left.

(It wasn't an election. It was a socialist coup.)

Midler confirmed what one would probably expect - she's not a fan of Beck at all. "I don't think he's funny even a little bit," Midler said. "I've never had a laugh from Glenn Beck. In fact, I find him terrifying. I find him terrifying. He's like an old school demagogue, and it's really frightening." What did Midler compare Beck to? She likened the popular Fox News host to the instigators of the Rwandan civil war, which was the catalyst for the Rwandan genocide where an estimated 800,000 to 1 million lost their lives. "If you look around at the rest of the world and what this kind of behavior has done, like in Rwanda, where the demagogues got on the radio and fomented all that hate between the Tutsis and the Hutus and the devastation that happened from that, I mean, it's terrifying," Midler said. According to Midler, that's a possibility in the United States. "And that could happen, you know, you could turn on a dime," Midler warned. "That could happen here."

If I remember correctly, and it is difficult to sort through the lies of the libs and their mouthpieces in the MSM, Rwanda happened during the 8 years of “peace and prosperity.”

Slick “I gave missile-guidance technology to the ChiComs” Willy later went over and apologized that the “US Government” did nothing to prevent it.

Slick Willy, the blood of the Rwandan genocide IS ON YOUR HANDS. You tried to create the lie of “peace and prosperity” and IGNORED repeated calls for help.

Now we have fat, ugly libs who shriek and call it singing blaming GLENN BECK for the potential of violence?

Mzzz Midler, if there is a Rwandan-type massacre in the US, it will be perpetrated by their cousins: ACORN and their various allies, many of whom advocate violent revolution. The victims will be the middle-class, patriotic Americans just trying to live their lives.

Rwanda? What the hell is she talking about? I was thinking something closer to home, like maybe the American Revolution. Maybe she just isn’t familiar with that minor war because of the US educational system.

It would have been a lot more fun if Midler had shown off her great knowledge of the Rawanda crisis.

I don't completely remember, but it seems that Clinton forbid our military from getting involved and trying to stop the mayhem even after military Commanders repeatedly request permission to help the civilians being murdered. Yeah, THAT RAWANDA.

(I'll take Liberty and you can keep the "Change"!)

Obviously she does not watch, or listen to his: pleas for civility, MLK/Gandhi style protest, and redressing our Government via our voice. and to find that voice.

Unfortunately, the entertainment industry has become a magnet for those who have never studied; small business, accounting, science, math, our Founding Fathers & American History, and are completely devoid of any critical thinking skills.
